The Empire of Chicken Jockeys is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Steve with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, pith helmet sales, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.827 billion Chicken Jockeysians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South North Bhutan. The average income tax rate is 71.4%.

The thriving Chicken Jockeysian economy, worth 288 trillion Feathers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 102,191 Feathers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, and children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chicken Jockeys's national animal is the Chicken Jockey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Chicken Jockeys is ranked 75,857^th in the world and 6^th in North South East West for Most Developed, scoring 68.52 on the Human Development Index.
